A fatal crash involving multiple vehicles occurred late Monday night at the intersection of North Rainbow and West Lake Mead boulevards in Las Vegas, resulting in one death and several injuries. The incident, reported just before midnight, began when a Jeep Wrangler collided with a concrete median before hitting a Dodge Journey, which then struck a Kia Optima. The passenger in the Dodge was pronounced dead at the scene, while two individuals from the other vehicles were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Traffic in the area was closed for nearly nine hours, prompting police to advise drivers to seek alternate routes. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is conducting an investigation into the crash, which has significantly disrupted local traffic. The scene remains active and further updates are expected.
